From what I understand from talking to others, the 15s & 32s have a new name (?) and may have been modified(?). Probably changed them up to those snap top style boxes.

they still got 'em in some stores too.
i just bought some last month.

All anyone is going to find is the warehouse stock or overstock. As that gets bought up its gone. I'd go on a run myself but all the scrap bookers and soccer moms are my competition for the same tubs. But some stores do still have them in stock at the moment.

From what I was told they are still selling them but only at Target. I can still get all three sizes at my local Target.

i hope i can still get what i need

Yeah , a few folks were told various things. One rack builder contacted them and they told him there were no plans to discontinue those tubs. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean I'll be rebuilding racks to make the newer versions fit.

I don't know if they are the new 32,27 and 15 qts but the meijer by my house doesn't stock the 27's at all anymore. I picked up the last 10 they had because the 15 qts they had now (almost the same price making me think it is the new model) has a locking lid that makes the size different from the old ones also they have a huge gap where the lid locks on to the new ones.

I hope if they do have the new models then they will be at least the same dimensions but I fear it won't happen....

The new rubbermaid 6 qts are just a few centimeters larger so they don't work in my hatchling rack because of the clearance I built it with. Going to try to run them through my sander to see if I can grind it off just a bit to use them without having them shatter.

Found some killer clear ones that I am going to mess with this winter, reminds me of the old ones before the opaque plastic ones came out...from what I understand they have been around for awhile and the sizes don't change from year to year.

Guess I need to just quit breaking the other ones since they might be the last of them for awhile.

Got to love it...:SAMHAIN:

Yes , the discontinued lines have been replaced by lachable ones. According to what I've read , Target decided to no longer buy the ones originally made just for Target and forced Sterilite to redo those sizes into the lachable / lockable line.

I was at Target yesterday and found 28 qts and 16 qts. Didn't measure them but they look more like the rubbermaids now with the straight sides. Need to take a tape measure with my next time or just grab a label...maybe some hope even if they are a qt bigger

The 16 qts are taller than the 15s. A few folks on another forum already have the newer version tubs in their area and have tried some on their racks. Depending on the rack builder the tubs are either a tight fit or don't fit at all.

A couple folks mentioned that AP will no longer advertise those style racks but will keep the info in their computer in case someone has the tubs and wants a rack built for them.

Damnit way can't things ever go smooth for us bloody worm farmers....

Have you tried roaches? I'm starting my own colony. They do not jump away like crickets and do not stick as bad. They are a little creepy until you get use to them. High production rates and cheap to keep.
